After walking Oliver, I’m in bed that night cuddling with him and eating Cheerios.

I kissed Tathan. In the hall.

What was I thinking?

I wasn’t. Again. Now he’s going to expect kissing and maybe even more on that date in a few weeks. I need to set some ground rules for that date, and myself.

But still. . . we kissed. Romantic-movie style. Speaking of romantic. . . I’m staring at the cover of Brides. You know, the one Tathan’s on the cover of. I stole it from Zane unbeknownst to him. The more I read into him, I realize there’s absolutely no way someone like him would ever want to be in a relationship with me. Dude’s freaking famous.

Relationship?

What happened to one date?

Eventually, I get up from my bed and reach for my laptop to check Facebook. I’m only on there a few minutes and watching a silly cat video my Aunt Kim posted when a private message pops up in the right corner from Tathan.

Tathan: Are you awake?

What the heck? How’d he find me on here? Oh, right. Facebook friends, thanks to Casey.

Me: I’m on here, aren’t I?

Despite my answer, I’m giddy he messaged me. Tathan Madsen private messaged me! I want to punch myself at how excited I am. You’d think I was just asked to prom. Who am I right now?

Me: Did you need something?

Tathan: Yes.

Me: Well?

Tathan: Hot tub?

Me: I already said no.

Tathan: Why?

Me: I’m busy.

Tathan: Really? Doing what? Sitting in bed with your dog?

Me: That’s none of your business.

Tathan: Amalie, I’m not that bad of a guy.

Me: You aren’t?

Tathan: No. I’m not, and you kissed me. I liked that kiss. I want more kissing. And I enjoy your company.

Of course he added that last part. I don’t answer, and he replies again.

Tathan: Let’s talk about our date. You said yes. No take backs.

Me: Not until you take Casey’s photos. Then I’ll give you the date.

Tathan: Why?

Me: You need to hold up your end of the deal first.

Tathan: I don’t break deals. What about you? What if I take the photos and you never give me that date?

Me: You know where I live, so there’s that. I’m sure you’d stalk me until I held up my end of said deal.

Tathan: True.

I don’t like replying through messages, so I type out:

Me: This is ridiculous. Meet me at the hot tub in ten minutes. I have to walk Oliver.

Tathan: Deal.

Of course he agrees instantly.

It’s a bad idea, and I know it, but I go anyway. I blame that kiss.

We meet outside my door five minutes later, and I try not to look, but I do. He has his towel over his shoulder revealing his tight body.

Not me. I wrap my towel tightly around my body. Tathan looks down at Oliver. “Is your dog going to bite me?”

“Nah, he’s not a biter. Just likes to growl and pee.”

Watching him as we walk, his head is lowered, concentrating on the ground, his lips parted slightly, and it draws me in. “So he’s like
